How do you listen to audio AND charge at the same time?

how do you listen to audio AND charge at the same time? I've tried using a 3rd party dual port adapter - a Promate 2-in-1 Audio & Charge USB-C Adapter - but it won't allow audio out AND receive charge at the same time (despite it's description saying this is what it is designed to do).


If I connect my Apple USB-C to 3.5-mm Headphone Jack Adapter, I can listen to audio. But when I attach the Apple USB-C charging cable, the iPad doesn't detect or show that it is charging, and doesn't charge.


If I remove the USB-C to 3.5-mm Headphone Jack Adapter, then the iPad will charge.

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi
